Even if you dont distribute it, its not free when used with a commercial
app. I specifically queried MySQL sales about this in a number of
scenarios, including putting it on our cd, telling our users to download
"some SQL server but no specific one" and so on. I did this because their
site was (is?) confusing about it and there were tons of posts floating
around here in the NGs saying "MySQL is free". Their response left no
doubt: if you are using it for a commercial app that isnt GNU'd, your users
cant use it for free.

from Clarion NG

The one thing that comes to mind is that there may, or may not, be a
misconception that mySQL is FREE!
Can we sort that one out to start with?
